Make Flossing Fun for Kids

Between the ages of 2 to 6, little ones should be introduced to flossing. As tired as we are from the toothbrush tantrums and spit struggles, creativity can go a long way, especially when it comes to a bit of floss.

Pajama parties: Encourage your little one to host a PJ soiree, call over a few kids from the neighborhood and organize a fun ceremony for brushing and flossing. Kids will love the new twist to the otherwise boring activity.

Give rewards: Kids love it when there is something fun at the end of a task. So put up a chart and use a sticker after each flossing session. At the end of each week, reward them with a trinket or treat.

Puppet show: Make some hand puppets that represent teeth, food particles and plaque. Put on a puppet show with a story line and music (no matter how ridiculous the lyrics).

So what say you do some small wonders with the floss for your little one? Remember to follow us on Pinterest for more kid-themed dental health fun!
